I find ps -ef | grep progname a useful command. It lists all processes and filters that list with grep to show onlt the process(es) you're interested in. It produces one or more lines. One is the grep process itself and the others are the processes you wanted to know about. If you use it a lot, write a small script: ========start of filterps script file ========= #!/bin/bash ps -ef | grep $1 ========end of filterps script file ========= Put it in the search path and make it executable: cp filterps /usr/local/bin chmod uga+rx filterps and to run it: filterps app /usr/local/bin is usually your the search path.
